Ire stabs at the heart,
Drawing blood,
Cuts and barbs of abhorrence,
Scarring the flesh,
Raised and angry,
Wounds won’t heal,
Relentless punishment,
Begging forgiveness is futile,
Shattered trust is rarely mendable,
Crawling through broken glass,
Is preferable to this agony,
It is not to be,
Absolution inconceivable,
Betrayal has set course,
Seeking love,
In the arms of another,
Aberrant.

By D. R. DiFrancesco
Sultry unrelenting heat
Flames ignite the fuse
My soul tormented in gradients
Shades of orange and brilliant blue
Misguided carnality quells true feeling
Sequestering that which I long to say.
Passion momentarily quenches my insatiable thirst
Parched, cracked my body begging for comfort
A mirage that taunts my senses
Like sand, torrid and dry unfulfilling
Dispelling my will
Shattering my resolve like so many shards of glass.
Agony of desire tears me asunder
Pulling against the fabric of my being
Crimson lust disguised as adoration
Plays me for the fool
Flirting with my emotions
Forging me into that which I most despise.
Frailty maims, mortally wounding the heart most loved
A prayer to rekindle that which has been ravaged
Regret and disgust are all that remain
Illusions dim with the clarity of day
Too late to reverse indiscretions consequence
Tender advances decay under deceptions burden.
